Recensioni su FastDUCT
Fast Duct review
Commenti: Great system and great customer support.
Aspetti positivi:
Ease of use and ability to train others to use. Seeing what is being taken off as you go.
Aspetti negativi:
Need to update the fiberglass duct off to include 1 1/2" ductboard.
Alternative considerate:
Excellent software
Commenti: FastDUCT overall is an excellent choice to make if you want speed and detail. The price is also very reasonable
Aspetti positivi:
This product has all the bells and whistles you need, fast and easy to learn, on screen takeoff, and the ability to customize to suit your style of working. The people there are always ready to answer questions when the need arises. This product along with Fastpipe is used daily by me and I highly recommend you give it a try.
Aspetti negativi:
I can't think of any at the time of this review. This product has it all covered.
Sheet metal Commerical use.
Commenti: The one biggest benefit of this program is the time it saves.
Aspetti positivi:
This product is really easy to use. It save a lot of time and you can teek it to match most of your needs.
Aspetti negativi:
You are unable to create your own catalogs and pricing. Some of fast Duct prices are way out of line. An example would be to insert a metalbetsos catalog ,or a norfab. Also the workbook they provide is full of errors that take time to fix.
FastDuct is a quick and intuitive estimating tool
Aspetti positivi:
The ability to make a multitude of different takeoffs/sections for a project
Aspetti negativi:
The Quick Pick Menu could be better customizable

Bruce, thanks for the review. About the Quick Pick Menu -- the buttons can be customized within the fitting spec editor, but we realize that can be a tedious process across multiple specs and sizes. If you have any ideas for how it could be easier to use, give us a call at 800-828-7108. We are always looking for ideas of how to improve the software, and we get most of those ideas from users like you. Thanks again.
FastEST was the perfect solution for our needs!
Aspetti positivi:
The takeoff features have been vital to our day-to-day since using FastEST. We came from doing everything on paper, and now it's so much more convenient, accurate, and easy to do it all digitally.
Aspetti negativi:
I use FastEST in a virtual machine on a mac. Sometimes the software can start to lag if I have a lot of takeoff items already.
PSM - FastDUCT Review
Commenti: I'm our HVAC Estimator, I commonly put together estimates in the mid six figure range and I can't imagine trying to do this without FastDUCT. We had looked at other software solutions but this is the best one we found hands down.
Aspetti positivi:
The software is very easy to use and understand. Product support is excellent.
Aspetti negativi:
Wish there were keyboard shortcuts for common functions and the ability to click two end points to fill in duct.

Thank you very much for your review, Mat! We appreciate your feedback. We added a larger, more customizable menu of keyboard shortcuts to our latest software version, which I believe your company is currently running. So please let us know if you have any questions about those. And we don't currently have the AutoConnect feature in our FastDUCT program (like we do in our FastPIPE system), but we will definitely put it on our requested features list for prospective development down the road. Thank you again for your review, Mat!
Buy it & use it, you won't be sorry
Commenti: I've been using it for 7 years here with very good results. I've been doing mechanical estimating over 40 years and I wish I found out about FastDuct earlier on in my career.
Aspetti positivi:
It's very easy to understand & use. Customer support is just a phone call away. Catalog/pricing updates come automatically and keep you running smooth.
Aspetti negativi:
Hmm, not so much on software but material systems such as different pressure class aluminums, FRP ductwork, PVA coated ductwork

Fastduct Review
Commenti: Outstanding when you add up all the benefits. I'll never stop using it.
Aspetti positivi:
I have used Fastduct and Pipe for several years . I not only am able to produce extremely accurate bids and take offs, But I use the recap sheet for quick change out bids for service and construction. Once I set my parameters, its remarkably fun and easy to produce bid after bid and be in the middle with all my competitors and be awarded 80% of my bids. Plus they keep updating with new features which I usually find some of the new features helpful depending what area I am focusing on at that time.
Aspetti negativi:
When setting up your export file to send to a vendor for pricing , it can get a bit overwhelming as the vendor doesn't want all the details as they have to input it into their computer and their computer adds all the little details. So you have to edit it then send it. But for that extra step I can accept it Fastduct and Pipe is awesome !
FastDUCT is an excellent tool for the HVAC indusrty
Commenti: My background is HVAC duct fabrication/installation and learning the fastDUCT takeoff software was easy and fast.
Aspetti positivi:
I really like the simplicity of learning the software and the how simple it is to customize my take-offs.
Aspetti negativi:
A feature I would like to see is when taking off rectangular duct system and I choose a square to round fitting, to automatically go into the round duct take off mode.
Risposta di FastEST

Dave, thanks for the review! Great idea of automatically switching to the round spec when you take off a square to round fitting. We will get that in the next version.
Best customer support I have ever dealt with.
Commenti: I am in the plan & spec business. Pre-Bid changes are becoming more frequent. I used to dread this especially when the addendum plans are not clouded. With FastDuct this problem has been solved. Bring in the new plan with your previous take off and the changes are obvious and easy to make. I have never dealt with better customer service. I was working on a Sunday Night and had recently updated my home PC to Windows 10. I tried to open FastDuct and got an error message. 10pm on a Sunday night and not only did I get a phone call from the president but he had me up and running in a few minutes.
Aspetti positivi:
The speed accuracy and customization has allowed us to not only bid more projects but also to handle change orders more efficiently.
Aspetti negativi:
Honestly I cannot think of any negatives.

Commenti: I use fest est software every day it is my go-to software and very dependable, and the service team is excellent. the people from owner to developers and service technicians are very good people and willing to help
Aspetti positivi:
I like how easy it is to change the take-offs and to fix any errors.

Thank you for leaving a review of FastDUCT, Felicia! We value your feedback. Let us know how we can help with the formatting on your final bid spreadsheet, or with the sorting of your duct takeoff, duct reporting, or other information. Depending on the part of the program where you might be having issues, there is sometimes flexibility or customization available. Thank you again for your review!
Excellent Value
Commenti: i am able to bid a lot more jobs in a shorter amount of time. pulling up records, making modifications and performing change orders are much easier using the program
Aspetti positivi:
not as costly as other programs on the market but it still has tons of features that provide accurate and detailed estimates for jobs. staff is very quick to respond to any requests for help or troubleshooting.
Aspetti negativi:
because it is set up using national averages it does not reflect local data for the market i work in so we need to constantly make adjustments to multipliers within the program to compensate for the differences. once the multipliers are set up in the program it works fine though.
Review of FastDuct by Daily User
Commenti: Over FastDuct is a very effective tool at performing estimates on projects. It saves time and allows us to be more thorough then previously.
Aspetti positivi:
FastDuct allows me to quickly and accurately perform take offs of most any project we have come across. On top of this when we are completed we can quickly look at projects floor by floor and generate detailed excel spreadsheets of the project. Within this spreadsheet we can also keep track of all additional costs allowing for a very details project breakdown.
Aspetti negativi:
There is no shortcut keys within this software. That means all repetitive tasks need to be clicked through step after step.
Alternative considerate:
Excellent product from an excellent company
Commenti: We noticed with our old system that many of our estimators were spending time running reports for operations instead of estimating cost for new work. FASTDUCT immediately removed that waste because it creates all reports natively in Excel. We also noticed that the way to setup specs for duct were MUCH more streamlined in FASTDUCT than other products... you could tell the developers had sheetmetal experience.
Aspetti positivi:
FASTDUCT is easy to start, easy to use, provides all reports in native Excel format, and an excellent value for the money. Though it is rare that we need assistance, the customer support is second to none. We have always received immediate responses to our questions, and that matters in today's fast-paced world. I highly recommend this product whether you are doing $100k or $100M bids. The ability to carry multiple tables for labor (shop or field) is also a nice feature if you do different kinds of work or have your own time-studies for certain products.
Aspetti negativi:
I would like some more options when estimating double-walled duct, but they are minor.
Fastduct review
Aspetti positivi:
Cut my estimating time in Half and I can easily go back and review jobs.
Aspetti negativi:
not being able to quickly scroll through drawings or find drawing that I had previously taken off with going through each and every one

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Bruce! We appreciate your feedback. Give us a call at 800-828-7108 when you have a moment. There are a couple ways to toggle between plans or takeoffs, that might be a bit faster than other methods. We'd be happy to show you those options. Thank you again, Bruce.
Very Happy
Commenti: Awesome easy to use program, always recommend.
Aspetti positivi:

Quick and easy to use
Commenti: Very good customer service and good price
Aspetti positivi:
It is simple to use with images of the parts, our junior staff can easily become operational with a short training. The reports are clean and simple to use. We purchase our ductwork and we enjoy the flexibility.
Aspetti negativi:
The settings are flexible but it can be difficult to navigate in the options. Also some softwares have an option of a auto select the elbows etc... And the fact we have to create new sections for acoustic liner can be time consuming.

Alot of customizing can be done to fit a companies type of bidding/ work.

The interface is pretty easy to learn. The customer service is the best I have encountered.
Aspetti negativi:
I would like to see more video tutorials or online help that I can refer to. I work all hours and it would be nice to have those resources available.
